I'm currently wading through a large packet of Mexican, Caribbean, Central and South American stamps that I acquired as part of a bulk lot. Unfortunately, I know nothing about stamps from this region and don't have the necessary catalogues to identify them. I wondered whether, if I uploaded images of the country lots, forum members with an interest in these regions could tell me whether any of the items are of interest or of value. I'm starting with a small HAITI lot.



The lot can be viewed by clicking this link:

I appreciate your time looking.

I found only one Haiti stamp that the value is more than $1. It's Scott C23 that has a value of $1.50 in Scott 2007. It's the first stamp last row 1.25 gourdes. The rest are below $1. I don't think these stamps worth much more in Scott 2011.

rlorenz, yes they are good! There are quite a few airmails in this packet, so it presumably derived from someone who specialised in airmails.

Some of the Central American countries seemed to love their airmail stamps. Costa Rica, for example, issued more airmail stamps than "regular" issues.
